Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order stemming from yesterday's question period. At that time I asked a question of the Minister of Canadian Heritage concerning the Canadian television drama production fund. In her response she indicated, and I quote the minister's response from Hansard :
First, Mr. Speaker, with your permission I would like to table a document that lays out the road map for success in Canadian film and television. I would also like to table the list of all those productions that have received an additional $130 million. At the same time, I would like to agree absolutely with the question of the hon. member.
My point stems from the fact that these documents were not tabled and therefore did not appear in the Journals of yesterday. My understanding is that the documents were given to the pages in only one language and under Standing Order 32(4) that is not allowed. I submit that does not forgive the minister for transgressions against the traditions of this place.
On page 372 and 518 of Marleau and Montpetit, it states:
Any document quoted by a Minister in debate or in response to a question during Question Period must be tabled.
I therefore ask to have the minister table the documents referred to in her response to my question.
